Girl behind the blog

Welcome! My name is Haley, I'm a 25 year old book-aholic. I'm a book reviewer for the RiverTalk Newspaper. I love reading YA, NA, and adult paranormal mostly, but I do go into other genres on occasion. If you want to talk more one on one about books, please don't hesitate to contact me on facebook or twitter, I love making new bookish friends!

Up for grabs is the newly released paperback copy of Tiger's Curse by Colleen Houck (SIGNED :D), the new paperback version has exclusive content such as...an interview with Colleen Houck, and some of Kelsey's recipes in the back such as Ren's Cookies (yum)!

On top of having this awesome giveaway, Splinter publishing has also shared with me the interview with Colleen Houck to share with you guys!

What makes the paperback release different from the
hardcover?

The paperback release will bring in a whole other group of
readers. I have several friends who prefer reading paperbacks over carrying
around the heavier hardcovers and they're very excited to get their hands on
this new version. There is also the chance to update the book and add bonus
material which all my fans know I love to write.

What are you most excited about with the paperback?

I'm very excited to share Kelsey's recipes! I'm a foodie as
most of you can tell from my books and I can say from experience that there's
nothing better than sitting down with a new paperback and a hot batch of Ren's
cookies. Light a sandalwood candle too and it's like you're in the story.

Is there something you can tell us about Tiger’s Curse
that no one else knows?

Yes! Pay close attention to Kelsey's dreams because they are
foreshadows of things to come later on in the series.

Ren or Kishan?

I honestly
love both brothers and want both of them to get their happy endings. I didn't
think I'd love Kishan as much as I do but he has solidly wedged himself into my
heart.

Kelsey can be sassy! Why did you choose to make her
character so empowered?

I wanted a
heroine who could do all the cool things I'd like to do. I was a big fan of
Wonder Woman. She was beautiful and could do amazing things. That's what I
wanted for Kelsey. My hope is that my female readers will see that ordinary
girls can do extraordinary things.

Has your day-to-day changed since becoming a NYT bestselling
author?!?

What does your husband think about it?

My day to day
just gets busier and more hectic every week that passes. My favorite time is
when I can just sit down at my computer and get lost in my story. My husband is
proud and amazed. He likes to brag about his author wife to perfect strangers
and hands out book marks to everyone he meets.

Last question—do
you plan on visiting India? You’ve already done so much research about it!

I have no immediate plans but I would LOVE to go. I think it
would be amazing to see all the locations I've written about. I made a real
effort as I wrote to layer my fantasy world on top of real world places because
I like the idea of feeling like you could actually step through a doorway into
another world.

The last thing Kelsey Hayes thought she’d be doing this summer was trying to
break a 300-year-old Indian curse. With a mysterious white tiger named Ren.
Halfway around the world. But that’s exactly what happened. Face-to-face with
dark forces, spellbinding magic, and mystical worlds where nothing is what it
seems, Kelsey risks everything to piece together an ancient prophecy that could
break the curse forever.

Tiger’s Curse is the exciting first volume in an epic fantasy-romance that will
leave you breathless and yearning for more.
